Markham Stouffville Hospital has been revealed as the 2018 recipient of the Energy and Environmental Stewardship Award.

The Canadian College of Health Leaders made the announcement on Wednesday and congratulated the medical facility on receiving the prestigious award.

“Markham Stouffville Hospital believes that the high quality patient care, services and programs that the hospital’s staff, physicians and volunteers provide need not come at the expense of the environment,” they said in a press release. “To the contrary, the hospital embraces the concept that environmental sustainability and ecological responsibility promotes overall wellness and is one of the best ways to serve our communities.”

The award will be  given to the Markham Stouffville Hospital at the Canadian College of Health Leaders’ Honouring Health Leadership event. For more information about this award and the College’s National Awards Program please visit the College’s website at www.cchl-ccls.ca.
